Senator MURPHY (New South WalesLeader of the Opposition)
- Pursuant to contingent notices of motion I move:

That at 8 p.m. intervening General Business be postponed until after the consideration of General Business. Order of the Day No. 18.

This order of the day relates to the Commonwealth Electoral Bill 1972, the purpose of which is to provide votes for 18-year- olds. If this motion is carried the debate on the second reading will continue and I hope will be resolved tonight.
